yeah, it will be enough of a challange at 1st looking after the fish, so my choice would be plants that can look after themselves. Plants put oxygen into the water dont they, which is healthier for the fish?

Well I'm popping to Pets at Home to get a nitrate testing kit today, so i'll get some plants, and get some water in my tank. What heavily planted by your standard? 2 big plants that run top to bottom, or smaller plants that layer the bottom?Posted via Mobile Device

Im from oxford... Have alook at the plants and note the names and take a few pics and if you ppost them here we can help you PROPERLY identify them.. Because i seemed to know more about the fish and plants then they did!!

It may look stupid but it helps a little bit. But if the plants look healthy ie no hair algea etc. Then you could purchase 2 or 3 and put them in you tank. From what i know there about 2-4 but you can get like 3 for £10 or something..
